Shottle

Shottle is a picturesque hamlet of a few farms, houses, the Parish Church of St Lawrence, and a chapel, surrounded by little lanes and footpaths. Unlike most of the nearby villages it appears little changed since the 19th century. Shottle was the birthplace of Samuel Slater, the apprentice to Jedediah Strutt, who left Belper for the USA and built the first water-powered cotton mill there; his original Slater Mill at Pawtucket is now a museum. American President Andrew Jackson called him the ‘Father of American Manufactures’, and his technological contribution and unique management style made him one of the most successful New England entrepreneurs of his era.
